Question for the readers: how many devices to you have on your person right now? By that I mean anything that requires charging in order to work. You might have your phone in pocket or sitting on top your desk, a pair of AirPods in your ear, maybe a smartwatch on your wrist, and a tablet in your bag. The point is we’ve got lots of gadgets on us on a regular basis, and a lot of them do need to be plugged in almost daily. Your phone, earbuds, and more might be constantly fighting for that one available USB port, so if you want to be able to ensure you can charge everything you need to at once, then you need a dedicated charging station.
The Anker Prime charging station is—dare I say—a prime option. This unit has plenty of space to charge multiple devices at once and right now happens to be on sale for 23% off. Normally you would find this suped-up power strip selling for $130, but the price has come down by $30 for a limited time. Go ahead and grab one for yourself at just $100 even while you still can.
Charge 8 Devices at Once
This Anker power strip contains eight ports across the whole unit, allowing you to charge or power up to eight devices at a time. The power strip includes two AC outlets, four USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports. Across all the outputs, you can achieve a maximum output of 240W.
The exact rate of output speed per port will vary based on which ones and how many are being used simultaneously, though if you are using two, three, or four of the USB-C ports found across the bottom, they will achieve an output of 240W between all of them. When used individually, you can get an output of 140W on any of the USB-C ports.
The lower end of the Anker Prime charging station comes equipped with a smart display which can show you what your output is looking like across each port.
The power strip from Anker is compact and because it has plenty of USB-C and USB-A port directly embedded, you don’t need a bunch of adapters like you would with a traditional power strip. This can help to reduce clutter and keep your desk or nightstand looking tidy, while still being able to power back up all of your devices simultaneously.
